US role in the murder of an Al-Jazeera reporter.
Human rights activists say US unconditional financial support for the Zionist regime is one of the reasons the regime’s sense of immunity from committing any crime, such as the murder of an Al-Jazeera reporter and the attack on his funeral.
Following the atrocities committed by the interim Zionist regime in the assassination of Al Jazeera correspondent Shirin Abu Aqela, requests from the United States to reconsider its unconditional support for the Zionist regime and conditional on its annual assistance to the regime have intensified.
The US State Department on Friday called reports of an Israeli attack on Abu Aqela’s funeral “worrying” and called for an investigation into his death. Instead of condemning the murder, US President Joe Biden, when questioned by reporters, said that he was not aware of the details and that an investigation was needed.
But US-based activists say such statements only validate Washington’s complicity in the Zionist regime’s crimes and its disregard for international law.
“The request by US officials to investigate this shows their hypocrisy and deep-seated hypocrisy,” Elias Newman, communications director at IfNotNow, a US-based Jewish opposition organization, told Al Jazeera. Is. “In fact, what they have to do here is look in the mirror (an allusion to the fact that they have to do the research themselves).”
“Extremist politicians who support unconditional support for Israel must look in the mirror and understand the fact that our continued financial support is a major factor in enabling Israel to feel safe and to commit these human rights abuses,” he said.
Joe Biden’s government and senior officials have repeatedly stated that they will not reduce US $ 3.8 billion in annual aid to the interim Zionist regime, nor will they make it conditional on any other factor.
